history

See also : History of East Timor

During the tenure of Governor Luís Augusto de Almeida Macedo (1856-1859), the Empire of Manumera rebelled against the Portuguese colonial power. In view of the colony's notorious lack of money, the governor was forced to use the money earmarked for the remuneration of the officers and employees to buy weapons, ammunition and equipment for the fight against Manumera.

In 1979 Timorese fled from Indonesian attacks on Alas and Fatuberlio in Turiscai, which was already occupied by the Indonesians. 120 people died here of hunger and disease. At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp for East Timorese near Turiscai, who were to be relocated by the occupiers for better control. The former residents of the resistance base ( base de apoio ) of the Centro Sul sector were also interned here. They came from Turiscai, Fatuberlio, Maubisse and Dili .

After an attack by FALINTIL fighters on the sub-district headquarters of Alas of the Indonesian army on November 9, 1998, the Indonesians responded with a retaliation against civilians in the area and burned down the houses of those they believed to be independence supporters, including in Manumera.
